Viva Energy Lifts Second-Half Earnings as Retail Integration and Refining Strength Take Hold

The latest announcement is out from Viva Energy Group Ltd. ( (AU:VEA) ).

Viva Energy reported FY2025 EBITDA of $700.9 million, with a strong second half driven by improved refining and retail fuel margins, record Commercial & Industrial sales volumes and better performance in Convenience & Mobility as acquisition synergies and cost savings flowed through. The company completed the full acquisition of Liberty Convenience, opened 35 new OTR stores, implemented new ERP systems to support a large multi-brand retail platform, and successfully commissioned its Ultra Low Sulphur Gasoline plant ahead of regulatory changes, positioning the business for operational stability, lower capex and balance sheet deleveraging in the coming years.

Despite weaker first-half results and refinery disruptions from a power outage and major maintenance, second-half EBITDA rose 33% year-on-year, underlining the resilience of Viva Energy’s commercial operations and the early benefits of retail integration. Management highlighted a simpler retail model, strengthened systems and controls, and a plan to reduce gearing towards 2x net debt to EBITDA by 2027, which together are expected to support more stable earnings and improved financial flexibility for shareholders and creditors.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VEA) stock is a Buy with a A$2.20 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Viva Energy Group Ltd. stock, see the AU:VEA Stock Forecast page.
